Full-stack web developer with 4+ years of experience in every stage of the software development lifecycle. Skilled in PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS3, and Javascript.

Practitioner of modern PHP techniques such as OOP favoring composition, using lambdas to add flexibility, and using Composer for dependency management.

Outside work, I like to play with functional languages (Haskell, Clojure), and experiment with Machine Learning using Python.
